First guy was corked, but #2 was spot on! Ripe fruit, rich, nutty, and nice texture

This went just about a year or so over the hill. Still showed the lovely waxy, honeyed quirkiness I love in mature roussanne. Candied fennel, hazelnut, loam and brine. Enjoyable but not what it once was. Drink up 🍯🧂🌊🌰

The pearl, Marsanne Rousanne blend. Great honeysuckle, peach, grapefruit and aromatics. Oxidizes somewhat fast, when warms can get heavy and high alcohol.

Delicious with great clarity, cotton candy on first taste and yes honey in the finish.

Full bodied honey. A good dose of acid to keep it fresh and exciting.

Well balanced, easy to drink, with a pleasant honey finish.

Like a Chardonnay without all the oak. Decent body- had visited the tasting room in Sonoma earlier this year and ordered this wine.
